MOU between University of Babylon and Urmia University

The University of Babylon is a public university established in 1991. At the heart of Iraq, it is located in Babylon Governorate, on the banks of the Euphrates River. The University is named after one of the first civilizations across history: the Ancient City of Babylon. During the Akkadian era (3000 BC), the city became civilized and known as Bab-ilu, i.e. the Door of God. The Greek name Babylonia was later adopted and used in the Old Testament. The university consists of 21 colleges divided over multiple campuses, all of which are located in the city of Hilla. The central campus is located to the west of the city, on the road between Babylon and Najaf, and it is the largest complex in terms of area and number of colleges. It is followed by the complex of medical and health-related colleges, which are found near Al-Hilla Teaching Hospital. Other campuses include the Faculty of Fine Arts, which is located on Sixty Street, and the College of Management and Economic Studies near Marjan Hospital. A number of colleges have been moved to Al-Qasim district to establish Al-Qasim Green University in 2012. These include the Colleges of Agriculture, Veterinary Medicine, Nutritional Sciences, and Environmental Sciences.
